"Flower girl" for Scrapbook Magazine.

Hello dear friends!

Here is another layout created for "Scrapbook Magazine" loaded with flowers as it has a Spring theme and of course I was inspired by this lovely photo of my daughter Ioli!!

Here is the small article...

"Hello from sunny Greece! I am lucky enough to live in Greece as it is sunny most of the year and spring comes very early! I always take advantage of the beautiful weather and go out on the fields for a good photo shooting! The conclusion is that my titles are always inspired by the photo and what it captures. In this case my inspiration was the flowers on the background. However, inspiration could also come if you captured an event, something that was said or done in the specific moment or even a feeling. After all, Scrapbooking is about capturing moments in time and telling the stories.  The photo was not only inspiring about the title but the colours too! I have used mainly yellow and green as the field was full of daisies!! Happy scrapping!"

"Flower girl"

Tips:

-Use bottle caps to make circles on the background

-If the person in the photo is looking towards one direction, make your composition in such a way that it goes with the flow.

-try to expand the background of the photo like I did with the flowers

-Use white gesso on the edges of the photo and on the ebmellies to tone down the bright colours

-crumple the papers behind the photo for depth and texture.

"Be Jolly"

Hello dear friends!!!

I hope everyone is having a great time with your loved ones!!

This is my first post after 7 months of absence....

I want you to know that I am very well, spending time with my family. I am having a break from scrapbooking for personal reasons and this is why I did not renew any of my design team terms.

However, I still have a contract with Practical Publishing for the magazine "Scrapbook Magazine" UK and there are some layouts that I have not posted on by blog. I can only post them after publication.

This is one I made last year (November 2013) but it is seasonal and I thought it is a good opportunity to share it with you now!

"Be Jolly"

Papers, Chipboard Stickers, die cuts: My Mind's Eye

Sticker letters:  American Crafts Thickers

Flowers: Petaloo

Stars, trims, red metal heart: Green Tara

Here are a few tips,

Tip: For an impressive look, cut your photo into 3 segments and mount them on paper mats. Make sure you choose an appropriate photo.

Tip: Create a banner across your page and write up your journaling opposite the main cluster.

Tip: If you want your splashes to be bold, use a brush, dip it into glimmer glam and flick randomly on the page. You can also use a pipette/dropper.

Tip: Use background stamps randomly to fill empty spots around your page.
